**ot Comp Knowitalls - Question For Joos

Alright. I am planning on formatting the hard drive on my laptop soon and I will be installing windows xp on it. I know sp2 just came out and I have been hearing that it’s been fucking lots of shit up on people’s comps and making it slower and things like that. If you have sp2 installed, what are you feelings on it and to anyone, would you recommend me install it? Thanks in advance

I've had no trouble with SP2 on several machines. The only places you might have trouble with it is if you run really old software that makes use of something that SP2 makes a change to to completely removes. I'd say 8/10 people won't have issues with it and if they do then they are probably using illegally cracked copies of XP anyways which in my experience isn't quite as stable as a fresh legit version.
